The Panasonic electric shaver is probably one of the best head and men’s body shavers. Irritation, redness, acne, and razor bumps are often the after-effects of a shave. They have several features and usually have an advantage over typical shaving razors. The Series 9 is light, ergonomically sound, waterproof to 5 metres and easy to clean. As with its Philips rival, the 50-minute battery life, from just a one-hour charge, is great. The slide-up beard trimmer is nothing to write home about, but at least it’s always there, unlike Philips’ clip-on one.

Most electric shaver makers offer advice on how to get the optimal shave. Braun, for example, suggests shaving first thing in the morning. (“We recommend that you shave before you wash, since the skin tends to be slightly swollen after washing.”) Philips Norelco says to wash but not shower (“…otherwise your skin will be hot, puffy…”). Dan has dabbled with electric razors most of his adult life, and his technique is based mostly on saving time. Since he has two kids, he’s always in a rush first thing in the morning; when using a manual razor, he shaves in the shower.
Philips Norelco Shaver 7700 delivers a smooth shave while reducing skin irritation. Replacement blades for the Bevel are the cheapest in our testing pool too, with a package of 20 going for $9.99, averaging out to $0.50 per blade . As a bonus, safety razors as a whole are better for the environment than your standard razor, since there’s no plastic and you can recycle your used stainless steel blades. When your blade gets dirty or worn out, the Bevel makes it super easy to clean or replace with a simple screwing mechanism. We preferred this over the Merkur Futur’s blade enclosement, which just pops off, because in our drop test the Futur’s blade would pop out from the handle and end up somewhere on the floor. Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser is the perfect gateway product to jumpstart your skin-care journey or tone down a busy routine back to the basics.
•With ComfortCut blades, you get a clean shave that’s comfortable on your skin. Rounded caps shield 27 self-sharpening blades to gently cut hair just above skin level Remington Shaver and help the shaver glide smoothly over your skin. I made the mistake of starting the cleaning process prior to shaving before I realized just how long it takes.
If you choose to shave in the shower, you will need to be mindful of the areas where you have and have not shaved. Not as close as a wet shave but close enough for me to think “ooh, smooth” when I slid my hand over my cheek. Fortunately this is not really an issue thanks to the 5-minute quick charge feature. You can either charge the shaver with the SmartClean shaving dock or just with the adapter. The shaver ships with just enough juice left in the battery to beep angrily at you when turned on, prompting you to charge it, so you can’t expect to use this shaver straight out of the box.
The new 2300 is a basic rotary shaver that uses a typical shaving unit with 3 cutters. A couple drops of oil or a quick spray of cleaner can keep your razor in great shape and ensure a comfortable shave. For travel, Philips Norelco offers a hard case that’s considerably bulkier than those that come with the foil razors we tested.
If you want your mustache to pull focus, then you need to give it special attention. That often requires a detailing device that can draw clean lines but also adjust to different uniform trimming lengths. Enter King C. Gillette’s aptly named Style Master, with its 4D blade that cuts hairs any direction you move it—as opposed to awkwardly torquing your wrist to accommodate the device’s design. With this sleek trimmer from Bevel, you can opt for a zero-gap trim by aligning its teeth to provide the closest shave possible. It also comes with an interchangeable T-blade head for fine detailing around the edges. However, it’s important to note that this trimmer doesn’t yet include any guard attachments—and that’s totally fine if you’re trimming a long beard with a steady hand or if you want perma-stubble.
